Digital BW, The Print

I'm running Mac OS 10.3.  IF (and it's a big if) I understand the QTR 
instructions correctly, I must download and install something called "Gimp-
Print" before installing QTR.  But wasn't it a conflict w. Gimp-Print (preinstalled 
on 10.3) and the Epson drivers that was causing all the headaches w. Epson 
printers a few months ago?  (I currently have a 2200 and will be getting a 
9600).  I seem to recall that in order to get a 2200 (7600/9600) to work w. 
10.3, you had to uninstall 10.3; reinstall it WITHOUT the Gimp thing (and 
perhaps w/out the Epson printer drivers included w. 10.3?); then download 
the Epson printer driver separately and reinstall it.

The short question is: am I about to "break" my system by installing Gimp-Print 
in order to install QTR 2.0?
